Scripture For Today:

 “(…hear their prayers…) from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their pleas, and uphold their cause. And forgive your people, who have sinned against you.”

What James Had to Say About Prayer pt 13

We have been studying what the Apostle James had to say about prayer. We have been studying the verses from James 5:13-18:

“Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any Merry? Let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 

Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

 Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it did not rain on the earth by the space of three years and six months! And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain and the earth brought forth her fruit.”

Yesterday, I discussed the first time I was in a position to pray for someone else and they were depending on ME to do the praying and expecting the result. That person was my daughter and the subject was a abnormal sonogram that depicted the baby in her room with a head shaped like a football and no blood supply to the brain.

She was told this on Friday afternoon and the doctor office scheduled her to visit another doctor on Monday morning for her “options.”

I’m not going to go into all the details like I did yesterday, if you missed it, go back and listen. 

The bottom line though, is in 3 days-time, a baby was recreated in the womb that the specialist said, “was perfect.” 

That one event shot my Faith so high, it still has not come down. When I pray now, I EXPECT the prayer to be answered. And it usually is!  Praise God!

Sometimes, immediately. Sometimes over time.  And yes, there have been some where we did not see the prayer answered. But that is NOT of my concern. 

There are things the individual may not disclose which may be impeding them receiving the answer from manifesting.

But, I can say, that no matter what happens, answered or not, I’m still believing FOR the answer for them!  Even years later! Amen!

And I’ve received testimonies from people years later that the thing we prayed for finally came to pass! Amen!

Do not ever give up on your prayers before God!

What did Jesus teach us in Mark 11:22-23, when the disciples asked him why their prayers were not being answered?

“…Have Faith in God…whosoever should say to this mountain, be thou removed and cast yourself into the sea, and should not doubt in his heart, but shall believe those things he says shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he says…”

That is MOUNTAIN MOVING FAITH! 

And it can belong to YOU!  Amen!

Again today – I’m way over time!

Let’s Pray!
